Your drone footage captures the immense scale of the landscape more than any others I've seen. I often get a true feeling of breathlessness when watching your footage. Absolutely superb.

[@shanec.7105]

Rocko and Foresty living the dream. Every other channel seem to have a commercial push vibe but not here. That is why I enjoy and keep coming back. I googled Girls Mountain and Rocko's there! Along with Foresty.

[@utubetjc]

Me too! Seeing Rocco was precious!

[@forestyforest]

Keeping it down to earth!

[@linhdasagen6498]

I think this is my favorite aerial shots. So beautiful FF. Rocko hopping like a bunny is just precious. Take care.

[@expatyankee]

That switch to drone footage with music on the summit climb was on another level. Love seeing the glacial ribbon tracks and thanks for the extended panorama 🏔️

[@pattiwhite9575]

Rockos jump and fly routines are the best

[@weewillywanka5904]

Just a man and his dog, casually climbing a mountain. What incredible views from there. The music added a nice touch too. Thank God for drone technology

Rocko prancing through alpine meadows is heart warming. ❤

Just got back from a week in the mountains. Every time we saw a big white van my kids (ages 2-12) busted out the “forestry forest he lives in a van” song. You know, only about a couple hundred times a day.

[@tommackay7433]

Alaska has a lot of ignorant lowlifes. Very high crime rate and a lot of drunks.

[@WhiteBreadThunder-op6in]

That particular area is lawless. It’s always been that way. Ever since the Butcher Baker serial killer buried over 26 bodies there. Just bad luck you stumbled into Jim’s Creek. It’s the first semi-remote area outside of Anchorage and it draws the gangsters.

Your drone cinematography above the summit is spectacular! It would be great to see a compilation of your favourite 5 summits with just your drone footage.

[@mattslaboratory5996]

So great to be able to fly the drone and let us really drink in that scenery. Ha! scenery is such an inadequate word. It's sublime.

I don’t know if there’s anyone who always brings the most spectacular shots then you Foresty! Tell me if there’s a happier dog in this world then Rocco, your channel has progressed into an incredible vision of earth!

[@spearfish]

I thought finding dispersed camping sites was pretty tough in Alaska too, especially compared to Colorado and Utah, where I usually camp. What made it especially hard was having no cell service most of the time to check iOverlander.

[@Chevyman23]

Girls is a pretty popular ski route but in general the entire Thompson Pass area is under hyped (I like it that way) despite being a world class ski/recreation area. There is a lifetime of exploration, skiing, and ice caves just off the road. Can’t wait to get back there this winter. I’m sorry you had such poor experiences with trash and camping so far in Alaska, that area is known for Tom-foolery and does not represent the majority of Alaskans. I’d definitely recommend you head to McCarthy and do a few day walk out toward Root Glacier and Blackburn. If you ever wander back to Anchorage I have a driveway you’re free to park; my kids and I saw you cruising around town a couple of days but didn’t want to spook you or Rocco so we played it cool and kept moseying.

[@Icewarrior101]

Your freedom is on top of the mountain!

[@carriemainquist757]

Got a sense of awe and wonder seeing little FF atop the mountain. Beautiful scenery. I wouldn't want to come down either.

I'm sorry Louie is having trouble with her jeep. I hope it isn't going to cost her a fortune. So strange to see Bob Wells crossing paths with you guys up there in AK. The drone footage was spectacular. I get dizzy when you take us over the edge. Such a shame to see all that trash and debris out there in the beautiful natural wilderness. It must have been really hard not to dive in and clean that up, knowing how you are. You're a good caretaker of the earth and God appreciates it. I know He smiles down on you. ❤🕊

[@AlexejSvirid]

"Don't cry, dear! Of course, you ain't prostitute. You are the loyal wife of nameless trinity of the Husband." Here is Christ's question, Mathew 15: 3: "But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?" Malachi 2: 1-4: "And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith Jehovah of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and ye shall be taken away with it. And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant may be with Levi, saith Jehovah of hosts." (ASV) A women say "the Husband has no name". Another ones say "the Husband has many names". Some of women "love the Husband in all his manifestations" like: neighbour, taxi driver, coworker, and so forth. Some women in a Husband-fearing way call him "H-D"... But, all of those prostitutes say "the Husband is the only". Their prostitution has created another women saying "there is no Husband at all". Then they even talk about "trinity of the Husband" and they are not against "the Son taking the Husband's place". In the same way religious prostitutes try to hide their disgusting fornication with different gods. Furthermore, a correct pronunciation of the Name is unknown now. This is the “loyalty” of traitors! Here is the God's word spoken through Moses, Deuteronomy 11: 16-17: "Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you." So, the God says there are other gods, but blind leaders of blind lead people into trap. Names of an idols/false gods are well known: Zeus, Rempha/Chiun, Aurora, Baal, Moloch and many others. "Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for. "HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah). Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." (KJV) The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why liers feel so good while righteous people are persecuted. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. He has anointed the king, Jesus Christ. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)

[@WhiteBreadThunder-op6in]

Not much room in Anchorage. It’s crammed between JBER, the Chugach and the ocean. It has a huge homeless problem, too. So, people are concerned about parking. Once a person parks for a night or two, it soon becomes a new homeless camp.

[@terryzanger7152]

So sad the homeless problem is both every where and growing.
